The integrated prevention model of pain—Chronic pain prevention in the primary care setting - ProQuest


Description

Clinical Practice in Pediatric Psychology (Jan 21, 2019). DOI:10.1037/cpp0000269 Objective: Chronic pain is a significant problem that affects a large percentage of children around the world (King et al., 2011). It is widely accepted that pediatric chronic pain can lead to functional impairment, including decreased school attendance, social withdrawal, and decreased participation in extracurricular activities (Huguet & Miró, 2008; Perquin et al., 2000). However, there is a paucity of research examining prevention of chronic pain in children and adolescents (King et al., 2011). Because pain accounts for 20–40% of primary care appointments during childhood and adolescence (De Inocencio, 2004), understanding how to identify youth on the trajectory to chronic pain and provide targeted treatment is essential. Methods: This paper proposes a model of integrating cognitive-behavioral therapy for pain management into a primary care setting as a secondary prevention technique to reduce the incidence of pediatric chronic pain. .
